Home On The Range...

Our long awaited trip to McKinleyville finally came and we were so excited to get there!!

Grandpa Cannon was waiting on the street before their house ready with his horse and 2 mules to ride the kids in.
This was, of course, a BIG hit with the kids. Raegan got to ride on "Mouse" with Dad, and Brig got to ride the Mule "Peggy" all by himself.


The kids wasted no time at all and ran all over the yard checking out all the fun goodies to do on the "farm"
First, checking out the pond with tadpoles, frogs and fish

Testing out the rope swing


Climbing Trees


Gathering the eggs from the chicken coupe
Playing fetch with Patsy
Eating Strawberries out of Grandpa's Greenhouse

All these pictures were taken in the first 30 minutes that we were there...it is such an amazing place. It's so beautiful in the Redwoods and right near the beach. There house has so much to do and it is also so relaxing! It's kinda like a dream there. I love it, the kids love it, and Grandma and Grandpa were happy to have us there.
There are a ridiculous amount of pictures...so keep checking back!

That is SO cute he was waiting down the road to bring them in on the horses! What a dream for kids!! That looks like a blast. Also, I am so jealous you went to Marine World!! We went there all the time growing up. Looks like such a fun trip. And by the way you are such nerd because you are the cutest pregnant girl ever and still so skinny!!
